Many thanks to my cousin, Harold Jacobs, for the much of the information. And kudos to all the Ory cousins I have met on the internet who have added and updated the family, especially Horace Ory, who has done extensive research on the early family in France and PA.
Other information came from "Lions on the River: A Potpourri" by Elida Millet Caillouet, published in 1989. Hopefully the errors from the publication, "Baker: The First 200 Year, 1776-1976" published by the city of Baker, LA, in 1976, has been corrected by the discovery of the Nicolas Orry will.
Any suggestions, questions or corrections will be cheerfully and gratefully accepted.
Bold is direct line; + indicates another generation of that family.

The Ory family lost one of its finest when Kevin Ory passed away. He was one of the driving forces behind much of the Ory research. Kevin was a cousin, a talented musician, a dedicated family man, and a good friend. He is missed!
